I am fairly new to pen turning, I started about 3 months ago and now I am hooked. I use to do big things like cabinets and entertainment centers but not anymore. I guess it could be that quick satisfaction that you get when you turn a nice pen. Here are some of my latest pens. Thanks for looking.

Nice group of pens, are you sure you are new to this?
Those pens have some great character, good workmanship.

Thanks for the comments. I took a class at Rockler in Houston, TX 3 months ago. I made a few pens and got good response after my wife offered them at work and that was it. I have learned a lot from this board. These are some of the pics from my past things that I have done, but I hurt my back about 2 yrs ago and I got tired of picking up 4x8 sheets. I love to woodwork so I had to pick something else.

I'll put down my money on cross-cut zebra wood... Though I'd wait for the OP to be sure.
